a 1st gameplay video that seduces Ecco the Dolphin fans

Announced last July, Glaciered had been particularly discreet since, the Japanese developers of Snowblind Studios (The Lord of the Rings: War in the North) probably preferring to work quietly. Nevertheless, today, we are entitled to a first gameplay video which focuses in particular on the combat mechanics. We can thus see our Tuai – the character that we will embody – confront marine species, including a white shark. A two-minute sequence that already hypes those nostalgic for Ecco the Dolphin, who see it as a sort of spiritual sequel. That is.

For those who have already forgotten, we remind you that the events of Glaciered take place 65 million years after the extinction of Humanity. Our avatar belongs to a genus that descends from birds and has managed to adapt to extreme conditions imposed by the Eternal Winter. During his journey through the icy waters, he will have the opportunity to develop both passive and active skills (swim faster, create crystal blades among others), which will allow him to face the many predators inhabiting the abyss and to explore the surroundings. Finally, let’s not forget that the game will use 8K for character modeling and will be compatible with certain features of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX (ray-tracing and DLSS for example).

Glaciered is expected on PC at an unknown date.
